Assign specific page access to specific users

  • I am using S2Member for several of my websites and want to say thanks for the development and work put into it.. it is awesome!

    I have a site where I need to manually allow specific users access to specific pages. I have 6 protected pages and 30 users. I need to assign user 1 access to page 3 and 5, user 2 to page 2, user 3 to page 1 and 3, etc. What is the best way to do this? I can’t assign membership levels as the combination of pages varies with the individual. I am using this as a tool for my employees, so there is no membership payment. Any help and guidance is appreciated!

  • The best way would be to use custom capabilities (ccaps).

    For example, go to the edit screen for page 1, and you will see a Require Custom Capabilities? box on the right somewhere. Enter whatever text you like here to give the ccap a name, but I’d suggest Page 1 to keep it simple. Hit Update. Do that with each page, giving each a different name.

    Now go into the WP Users list, and select a user to edit. Towards the bottom you will see a box called Custom Capabilities. Put the name of the relevant ccaps there. If you need to add more than one, separate them with commas, and hit Update.

    Thank you for the reply! I originally set the page level restriction for each page to subscriber level 1 and allowed each user the same subscriber level. Each page was accessible via the nav menu.

    Now that I have followed your instructions and given each page a unique ccaps, how will the user access their assigned pages?

    Well, you can still have the pages as level 1 too. You don’t need to change that. So everyone should still be able to see where the pages are via the nav menu.
